99pshop via .NET 247

Hi

Am new to VB.NET and wondering how to centre my form in the mdi that is maximised or set to a diferent size.

I tried this
wTop = (frmMDI.Size.Height - frm.Size.Height) \ 2
wLeft = (frmMDI.Size.Width - frm.Size.Width) \ 2
frm.Location = New Point(wLeft, wTop)

Main problem is when the mdi form is maximised, the size reported is not the new size but the size set at design time.
 
Hi Brian,
Following up...I tried to put a form in a panel and use the
CenterParent and it did not work. The form kept being displayed in the
upper left corner of the panel. Here is what I did:

Dim objForm as New Form1
objForm.TopLevel = False
Panel1.Controls.Add(objForm)
objForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent
objForm.Show()

What did I do wrong?

TIA,
John

Form.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterParent
